Comments
Auburn looks to improve to 2-0 this weekend when they host the Hornets of Alabama State. I think we’ll see a repeat of the lopsided opening win over Akron. This is another mismatch. Things will get tougher for Auburn after this weekend. The goal in this game is to get the win, get better on the field, and avoid injuries.
